Do you remember the very fatal incident with "Lone Madsen" during Greenland paddling? She died after capsizing in suddenly strong winds, while her friend was unable to paddle back to her. VERY sad and in some way unbelieveable story. Don4t remember where the infos are available in english. Carlo Schagen wrote an essay about it, but not in english. What4s about the foldable-crash with Jon Turk in Patagonia. Just to mention a more popular one. Or a very historical one with Fridtjof Nansen 1896 on his incident with a walrus on Franz-Josel-Land. Or an old story I remember from an 20 year old adventure almanach. Two Germans on Spitzbergen, one folable capsizing and lost in strong fallwinds. aso. ...
